PEOPLE begin to talk of woman's suffrage as an inevitable. If it has got to come why delay it Experiment has shown that women do vote when they are permitted, ,that the bet ter classes are quite as prompt, or more so, to avail of the right as the vicious class. and that the effect of the presence of women al the polls is in every way good, and, so far as can be seen, the women are none the worse for visiting the voting places. The stock ar- gument against woman suffrage has been that they didn't want it and wouldn't use it if they had it. We'll, it seems they do vote when they can, which seems pretty good evidence that they have wanted to.
